BLESSED is he who consider the poor ; the LORD will deliver hom in time of trouble.

2 The LORD will preservr him and keep him alive , and he will be blesed on the earth ; You will not deliverhim to the will of his enemies.

3 The LORD will strenghten him on his bed of illness ; You will sustain him on his sickbed.

4 I said, " LORD , be merciful to me ; heal my soul, for I have sinned against You

5 My enemies speak evil of me : When will he die, and his name perish ?"

6 And if he comes to see me, he speaks lies ; his heart gathers iniquity to itself ; when he goes out, he tells it.

7 All who hate me whisper togather against me ; agaisnt me they devise my hurt.

8 "An evil disease, " they say, "clings to him. And now that he lie down, he will riseup no more. "

9 Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 But You, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them.

11 By this I know that You are well pleased with me, You uphold me in my integrity, and set me before Your face forever.

12 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting ! Amen and Amen Psalm 41
